Curse of the Unbelievable.
Chapter Three: Arrivals and Departures.
Monster Island.
"Come on, come on, I know I can do it." Leo of course was talking to himself as he shot another round of silk into the air, trying to figure out he could turn it into a cocoon. He was sitting in the middle of the jungle, with mounds and mounds of silk surrounding him. He had noticed that it was not surging with the same energy as it usually did, which of course gave him some comfort. Of course, after firing the last silk shot, he then noticed the telltale blue surging through it, and figured out that somehow, he had gained the ability to control the type of silk he shot out.
"Hey Leo, just what do you think you're doing?"
"Oh! Angurius, I was just uh…. well…." Leo blushed, before he decided to tell his friend the truth, "I was trying to cocoon myself." Angurius looked at him, before laughing loudly, and getting an angry glare from Belvera, who was hovering near his head.
"What? Why are you doing this Leo?"
"You know how Mom and Junior left to go to Skull Island a few days ago? I want to help them, but I can't do it if I'm stuck as a larva. I need to become a fully-grown Divine Moth, because I feel so helpless. I don't know how." Angurius sighed as he remembered the last conversation the group had.
"You sure you want me to stay? I can help you two with this Varan freak or whatever the hell he calls himself."
"Gurius, you need to stop worrying." Junior was looking at the sea, along with Mothra, and Moll and Lora. Leo was off somewhere else, unhappy at the fact that his mother was leaving him again, and being told he could not come with them. "The fact of the matter is that she and I are able to take more punishment from the Acolytes right now, and if what she's told me does happen, then I need to be there to face the King of Skull Island. I haven't forgiven myself after you nearly got killed by the destroyer. I don't want to lose you too."
"I appreciate your concern Junior," Angurius murmured, "but I think I can take about the same punishment as you. Look, I know I have to stay to make sure Leo stays out of trouble, but that doesn't mean…...I'm a burden on you two. I may not be able to fly, or fire off an atomic ray, but that doesn't mean I can't fight."
"Is…...that how you feel right now?" Junior winced as he saw the hurt look on the dinosaur's face. "Look, you helped me at the lowest point of my life, you are not a burden on me, or anyone else here. If we need your help Angurius, Belvera will let you know." Angurius perked up a little at this, and watched as Junior smiled and walked off to talk to Leo, no doubt to reassure the Larva that he would bring his mother back to him. It was then that Mothra hovered down to Angurius, and the two talked face to face.
"So, I guess I have to put up with the queen bitch here."
"Belvera may be a little grumpy from time to time, but her heart is in the right place Gurius. I'm sure she'll warm up to you in time."
"This mission…this Varan freak…how would you say that he compares to Destoroyah?"
"He's much more intelligent…and that's what scares me the most. Other than that, he is just a living breathing thing, one that can be destroyed."
"Well, don't let me keep you waiting alright? I bet he won't stand a chance against you two…unless he somehow managed to convince that dumbass king to join up with The Master." Belvera looked at Angurius, as her horns lit up, and a tiny voice piped up from the angry Shobijin.
"Idiot. If that happens, then my master's sister will contact you through me." She then flew off, while Moll and Lora followed, trying to speak with their sister.
"She speaks."
"Yes Gurius, she has the ability to talk." Mothra looked at Angurius, knowing what was going to be discussed next. "It's time we talked about…..what's going on between us."
"I know. Goddamn it, I know. I've never felt this way about someone before, and well, I have a feeling it may compromise your duties as Guardian of the Earth."
"…. You're not wrong.…" Mothra sighed and nuzzled Angurius gently, who blushed just a little. "To be honest, this is the first time I've felt a strong connection with another. If you don't think this will work…. between us…. then it's your decision in the end Gurius." Angurius shut his eyes, and scratched at the ground.
"How well do we even know each other? For something like this to work…we've got to have something in common. My grandpa always said that he and my grandma stayed together so long, because they both realized that they were fit for each other. While he liked to crack these stupid jokes all the time, my grandma always found them hilarious for some reason. They both liked watching the sunset together on the beach, and they weren't afraid to talk about any issues they may have had. When she died…my grandpa tried so hard to hide his sadness while raising me, but I could tell he wasn't the same. Right now, …. I don't think…." Angurius stopped talking, before he uttered words he didn't want to, "It's more important for you to be Guardian of the Earth. You don't need to get hung up on me…. I'll just be a distraction."
"Do you really think that? Let's talk about this later," Mothra continued to nuzzle Angurius, "I think we may have quite a few things in common."
He couldn't stop thinking about just how Junior and Mothra were fairing on their journey, and looked at Belvera, wondering if a message would come through to him. Leo noticed Angurius staring off into the distance, and tried to get his attention. "Hey Angurius, can we spar? Please?"
"You know…... sure, lets spar." Angurius smiled as he and the larva started to fight, glad that he could take his mind off and relax some, while keeping a close eye on Belvera in case she suddenly got a message from Mothra.
The Moon to Monster Island.
"No….no….no…no…."
Neo was squirming around as he slept in a small crater, unaware of how he was causing crystals to grow on the surface of the moon. With a blast of yellow lighting and a scream of fear, Neo woke up in a cold sweat, and looked around, seeing nothing but the Earth off in the distance.
"Oh…. It was just a nightmare…"
He had lost track of time while on the moon and after the fight with Belial's soldiers, but now he felt like he was ready to return to Earth again. Silently assuming his flying form, Neo started to fly down to the Earth, barely noticing a strange new voice in his mind.
"…NNNNNNEEEEEEOOOOO…."
It was a few hours until he broke past the atmosphere, its warmth radiating off of his crystalized hide. Hovering in the sky, Neo could barely swallow when he saw the familiar site of Monster Island lying before him, looking like nothing more than a tiny speck in a blue sea. Another familiar voice rang throughout his head, one that always made him feel at peace.
"How does it feel to be back on Earth son?"
"I don't know, Mom. I don't deserve forgiveness for what I've done."
"Hm. Well, why don't you try talking to them when you get down there? I'm sure Mothra will be the most willing to talk to you. Plus, I believe it is time I showed you some…. abilities you have had for some time now."
"…Well…. here goes nothing…." Neo dropped down, watching as the clouds rushed past him as the rush chilled his scales, and gave him a sense of dread as he came closer and closer to Monster Island, not knowing what would happen when he landed. He closed his eyes, and focused his power until his speed dropped, and he could feel himself float gently down, landing softly on the sand. He slowly opened his eyes, hearing the crashing of ocean waves, and looked at an orange sky, and the sea of foliage and jungle growth that covered the island. Neo sat down, and thought about what he wanted to say when he would see the group again, and about The Master and his presence. The silence was soon broken when a loud voice suddenly got Neo's attention.
"HEY! What are you doing here!"
Looking around, Neo noticed a small Divine Moth hovering near his head, with her eyes narrowed, and electricity surging near her glowing horns.
"Oh. Hello. Who are you?"
"That's none of your business! Leave now, or I will call my master's sister to destroy you!"
"I don't want to fight. I just want to talk to Mothra." As Neo said this, he suddenly noticed a larva come out of the jungle, followed by a very familiar face.
"Angurius! Is that….."
"Neo, what the hell are you doing here? I thought you left Earth and wasn't going to return."
"Listen to me, I just want to talk to Mothra, and I know I don't deserve forgiveness for what I've done…but-"
"She's not here. She and Junior left a few days ago." Angurius then bent down in a defensive position and growled, "If you even think of harming Leo…."
"This is Leo?" Neo walked over to the larva, whose green eyes widened with fright, as he watched the clone walk over to him. Belvera suddenly got in front of his face, and hissed angrily.
"Belvera, no." Leo glared at the Shobijin, who squeaked in surprise. "If he wants to talk to me, then I'll let him." Belvera flew away, as Neo bent down to the larva's level.
"You must be Mothra's son."
"And you're one who tried to hurt her and my friends," Leo growled.
"I made a mistake. She gave me a second chance. I don't want to waste it."
"Really?" Leo rose up, ready to fire off a silk shot powered with cosmic energy. "I don't trust you at all. How do I know you're telling the truth?"
"Yes Neo, how does he know you're telling the truth?" Biollante made herself known to Neo, who realized that she had a good point, and that only Mothra could clear it up with her son and him.
"You are correct Leo." The larva tilted his head in surprise, and then sat back down, while still keeping a wary eye on Neo.
"Is this about The Master?" Angurius decided to try and get information out of Neo, and walked up to him.
"Yes. I wish for us to work together, so we can destroy him, and stop whatever he has planned for your planet, and the outer universe." Belvera flew a little closer, as Neo watched her, and then with a quick motion, he reached out and snatched her in his hands. She bit his finger, until she could feel soft gentle strokes down her back, and realized that he was petting her. She growled softly, and then began to purr as she felt his strokes massage her back, liking how soft he was with her.
"…...You're telling the truth…. I can see it in your eyes…. But how do I know you aren't planning to backstab us?"
"You wouldn't, I would've given you up to The Master already." Belvera suddenly fell to the ground and started to scream as Neo, Angurius, and Leo, crowded around her, as she stopped as soon as she started staring into Angurius's face.
"He's here…. The Master…" Belvera collapsed and passed out, as Angurius's eyes widened with fear.
"I need to get to Skull Island. Leo, you stay here and watch Belvera, because your mother needs me right now." Angurius tore through the forest, as he flattened trees and reached the other side of the island, ready to jump into the ocean and swim as fast as he could to save Mothra. "I won't let you die. I'll protect you…I can make it…..I…" Angurius suddenly felt himself lift up into the air, spinning about as Neo in his flying form focused more and more, making sure to keep Angurius steady.
"Listen, you and I both can get to Skull Island much faster if I carry you with me. Do you know the way?"
"YES! LET'S GO NOW! HE'S GOING TO KILL THEM!"
Leo managed to reach the beach, with Belvera fluttering weakly behind him, and watched as Angurius and Neo flew off into the purple sky, sighing as he realized that he would be left alone again. He could tell that from Angurius's worried tone and the times he and his mother had gone off to their private "training" sessions, that he cared for her in a different way than a friend. And it was this love he had for her, that had made him so willing to trust Neo, who as far as Leo knew was not trustworthy at all. "If he lays one claw on my mother, or if he tries to hurt Junior again, I'll kill him," Leo muttered, even though he knew that he was nothing compared to the space monster. With that in mind, Leo went back to trying to create a cocoon, hoping that once he got his Imago form, that he would no longer be left behind, and he could protect his mother and his friends. And maybe work up the courage to admit his feelings for Junior, something that he wanted to get off his chest.
It was right about then, that the ground started to shake violently, causing Leo to look around in fear as several Kamacurai burst out of the jungle, trying to escape something that was happening.
Skull Island: Several Hours Before.
Junior looked at the rocky entrance to Skull Island standing before him, taking note of the human vessels that adorned the rocks, and how the storm clouds seemed to be much more ominous than they should've been. Next to him, Mothra was in her Aquatic Form, her body now being much more streamlined like her Lightspeed Form, with four webbed bladed wings, a set of gills, and a waterproof light blue exoskeleton surrounding her body. She decided to try out this form in case she was spotted flying through the storm by Varan, and was pleased to know that she could be quite quick while swimming, although she still preferred to fly above anything else. Right now, she looked into the storm, feeling a sense of dread coming from within. "Junior….be on your guard when we enter here. I can sense the presence of darkness lurking beyond…."
"Varan?"
"No…. something else…."
Junior swallowed loudly, before he and Mothra swam into the storm system, and around the rocks that protected the island from the outside world. Of course, he had swam in typhoons before, so the howling winds and roaring waves did nothing to deter him, while Mothra was a bit more cautious, knowing that she had little experience in her Aquatic Form. Eventually emerging out of the massive clouds, Junior and Mothra gazed in awe as they saw a massive island before them.
One with a skull shaped rock in the middle.
One that was falling apart before their eyes, and that was surging with pools of dark violet liquid, and strange creatures of many shapes and sizes that looked like living shadows, with glowing white eyes, who ignored the approaching kaiju.
"Guardian? Is that you?" A very familiar voice in Mothra's head suddenly caught her attention as she looked around, dreading what she would find.
"Reveal yourself you coward."
"Coward? Now how am I like that? Oh, is it because I am only a voice in your head right now?"
"You send others to do your dirty work." Mothra could see the beach coming closer and closer, and tried to ignore The Master.
"They have special skills and abilities which help my "dirty" work get done more effectively. Now tell me this, why are you not being a mother to your son?"
"What!?"
"Oh, that poor little larva, wondering when his negligent mother will ever return. And when she doesn't, he'll realize that she was nothing but a mewling quim who only cared about herself, and how she alone was the so called "Guardian of Earth," meaning of course that her son was nothing more than a mistake. He'd need a friend of course, someone like me, one who can tell him that he matters….."
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Mothra changed back into her normal form, her eyes glowing red as the words of The Master rang through her head, cursing herself for letting him get to her.
"So now what Mothra?" Junior looked around at the human village beneath him, figuring that it had been abandoned for years. Looking upwards, he could see the skull shaped rock leering down at him and Mothra, along with a strange humanoid figure standing on top of it. It was right about then that the shadow creatures suddenly disappeared, and part of the island broke off with a loud crash, and sunk into the ocean. "I can see him…..the King of Skull Island. I need to get to him."
"Junior, be careful….. He is here." Junior knew who she was talking about, and growled with rage, knowing that one time or another that the desolated island was a beautiful place to live. With that, Mothra and Junior went their separate ways, with Junior trudging through the dying forested landscape that led to the skull, doing his best to avoid the pools of venom on the ground. Mothra flew over to a more barren part of the island, hoping to find Varan on that side, until she suddenly heard a very familiar voice behind her.
"Turn around Guardian. You wanted to see me, right?"
"I guess this is the end." Kong gazed sadly as he watched Skull Island's collapse, waiting until the moment where it would fall into the ocean completely. Unless of course, he killed Godzilla, to which then Chiros would keep his word, and restore Skull Island. Varan was next to him, smiling as he could feel Kong's hope fading away with every part of Skull Island that fell.
"My king, why do you desssspair sssso? He will arrive ssssoon, and then, your home will be at itssss full glory again."
For a brief moment, Kong remembered the darkness that had surged into him when he had made the deal with Chiros, and that this Godzilla may not have been responsible for this at all. Or that's what he wanted him to think, and he continued to believe that Godzilla was responsible for this destruction. "I don't think I can do this, not at all. I can't let Skull Island die, I can't let my parents down, I…"
"Oh…. Don't worry my king…. I am very ssssure you can defeat Godzilla. Why elsssse would he come to you? Don't you undersssstand? He fearssss the mighty Kong, becausssse he knowssss you can defeat him. He'ssss not ready to give up hissss tyrannical rule, nor can he deal with a world in which he issss not in command. You are a rival Alpha to him, and thussss he hassss decided you sssshould be broken, before he killssss you. Are you really going to let him win now? He never sssshowssss mercy to hissss victims…" Varan of course was talking about himself and The Master albeit with some lies mixed in, but the darkness clouding Kong's mind prevented him from discovering the truth. "He issss a true monsssster, and now he comessss right now….to kill you. Will you let him win?" Kong turned around, and noticed a figure standing at the bottom of his home, looking up at him. Leaping down with a crash of thunder, he stood in front of the King of the Monsters…with electricity surging in his eyes.
"Are you the King of Skull Island? Listen to me, you are in danger," Junior pleaded as he saw the massive ape standing before him, holding a stone axe and a chain wrapped around his waist. "A creature called Varan is responsible for all of this destruction, alongside his master….."
"You, the King of the Monsters, thinks you can order me, the mighty Kong, around?" Kong's grip tightened as rain began to fall onto the island, followed by the loud crackling of thunder.
"I am no king, I am a kaiju just like you," Junior continued to plead, hoping that Kong would listen, before he noticed Varan sitting behind Kong with a venomous grin, his eyes glowing as he poured more darkness into Kong's mind. In the brief moments before this, he could see a hint of realization in Kong's eyes, meaning he had gotten through to him somehow. And yet, he was now lost again. "Varan and The Master mean to destroy our world like they have done Skull Island. Even now you let Varan poison your mind, much like he has done to Skull Island….."
"Look Kong," Varan hissed as he secretly summoned Shadow Demons, making sure to have some attack him, "Hissss minionssss are here to kill you." With several swings of his axe, Kong destroyed every Demon that came near him, and enraged him further. He could see nothing but red when he looked at the intruder to his home, a red that blinded him to the real enemy right beside him.
"LIAR! You've come here to kill me, because you can't handle the fact that I can kill you, and that your reign will be at an end. Your little fantasy of being the so-called King of the Monsters is nothing more than ego trip… And if Skull Island is fated to go down beneath the sea, then I'LL TAKE YOU WITH ME! I SWEAR BY MY PARENT'S GRAVE!" Kong leaped into the air with a furious roar, brandishing his axe to summon a lighting blast as Junior looked up, and charged an atomic ray.
"If this is what it has come to, then I am sorry for this, I am sorry that I have to fight you, I am sorry I may have to kill you," Junior muttered, "But I can't LET YOUR MASTER WIN VARAN! DO YOU HEAR ME KONG?! I WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL NO MATTER THE COST!" Junior fired off his atomic ray as Kong brought down a powerful lightning strike, the bolt of electricity connecting with the beam of plasma.
With a massive explosion that wiped out the centerpiece of Skull Island, and caused the destruction to accelerate, the clash of kings began.
And that night, there would only be one winner….and the fate of Skull Island would be sealed…
Skull Island: The Plains.
Mothra turned around at the sound of The Master's voice, and saw a dark portal right before her, and six glowing eyes emerging out of it. First his hands came out, reaching outwards to pull out the rest of his seemingly sewn together body, a grotesque hybrid that sickened Mothra, especially with how all three of the faces seemed to leer at her. The Master stood before her, as the dark portal disappeared, leaving the two of them alone. He smiled, and then spoke, his voice not quite matching how he looked.
"Am I a coward now? After all, I have just revealed myself to you…."
"You are a foul demon who does not belong on my home," Mothra growled as she fired out a prism beam, "BEGONE!" To her surprise, The Master let the beams hit his hands, and absorbed them into himself, still smiling all that time. His eyes started glowing purple as he fired out Prism Beams out of all of them, Mothra barely managing to get out of the way as they destroyed a cliff behind her. The stormy skies and rain did nothing to quell Mothra's anger, or The Masters amusement.
"Manners. Now before you attempt to kill me, don't you think that we should introduce ourselves…... Mothra Lea is it?" The Master's grin seemed to grow wider as Mothra's eyes widened at shock of hearing her name being uttered. "Oh, don't look so surprised, I always make a point to know the names of my victims before I destroy them." The eyes on the lower part of his body were glowing blue as The Master created a sword out of water, and then the eyes in the middle were glowing yellow as he summoned several huge boulders that floated right behind him, and finally the eyes on his head glowed a bright red as flames came out of his mouth, and air whipped around him.
"What…. who…. are you?" Mothra secretly sent out a message to Belvera, hoping that Angurius would get there on time as the Master stared her down. A massive explosion in the distance confirmed to her that Junior was most likely fighting the King of Skull Island…..and Varan.
"I go by many names. To Kong, I am Chiros, an ancient god worshiped by humans who once lived here. To other humans, I am Czernobog, Ares, Yahweh, and whatever god of evil that humans have assigned you to fight. But to you, and many of the other Kaiju that live here on Earth….I am Bagan, the Beginning and the End of Life…NOW MEET YOUR END!" As Bagan lunged at Mothra, she charged up a mystic sigil, ready to fight to the death.
She knew the name of the enemy now…..and it was one she had prayed would never be seen or heard from again….
